Gay Marriage & Barney

Oni wat ya kawin sejenis bih?


What's wrong with Barney???!!
If you're like me (a guy), then it is NATURAL to fall in love with a woman and then marry her. Now I'm not against people who think they prefer other people who are of the same gender. But I'm just dumbfounded by the fact that Neil Patrick Harris, who plays Barney (or his Swedish cousin Bjorney..and also his doppleganger Dr. Spangle) in How I Met Your Mother is actually gay. Imagine that, the guy who plays the ultimate playboy is in fact the poster boy of same sex marriage? It took him just under 5 hours after New York City legalized gay marriages to declare his marriage to his long time fiance' - or is it fiancee?

Now for the people who do (or do not) follow the sitcom, Barney has developed a cult-hero status for two things I guess:

  • the Bro-Code (the bible for buddies..and wingmen)
  • the fascination (or fetish) for women (usually hot ones...remember his story about girls and manateees?)

Somehow, down the line..he must have mixed up the two things are it turned into the Bro-Fetish! Anyways, my congratulations to Neil Patrick Harris for his future nuptial. But I still personally think that it is just not right for individuals of the same gender to marry. No matter how much a person tries to dabble about it, fact is - a man's a man and men are meant to be with women. So too is the woman. It is embedded in the human physiology to be so. The personal or 'emotional' preference that causes a man to love another man, I think, is mostly caused by the environmental effects in the development of  a person's personality. I just can't believe that you are born inclusive with the desire to love someone of the same gender. Something in life must have sub-consciously embedded and then triggered that preference.

Barney (always in a suite!) & co at MacLarens (their drinking hole)

The sentence that goes,"I nak buat macam maner, dah Tuhan buatkan I macam ni, jasad lelaki tetapi jiwa wanita." is simply an excuse given to 'indirectly' place the blame on God. But don't be confused between gays and those who are the 'cross-gender soul-body mismatch' or pondan. Gays can be a man who's as manly as any man and women who are as feminine as any other. It's just that they ar able to fall in love with someone of the same gender.

Personality and consciusness separates men from animals in what makes us special creatures of God, and with those two attributes we have been given the power of choice. So yes, a man can CHOOSE to marry another man - probably out of love...but that inevitibly does probably would not go well with God. That's just my opinion, I mean otherwise he would not need to create 'women' in the first place right? To me, it's just that there's an awkwardness when humans try to defy something like that. But whatever makes you happy...ok la, it's all up to the individual themselves.

Barney in 'action'!!
All I can say is Selamat Pengantin Baru Barney!

Suria Perkasa Hitam a.k.a. Kesatria Baja Hitam a.k.a. Kamen Rider Black

Oni wat sirita tih doik obuok tayang? Many many years ago, when I was still a phlemy kid (budak ingusan la...) there was this one television show that somehow brainwashed the minds of almost every boy in my primary school. I'm gonna need the help of my fellow friends and readers to help me re-trace the steps of this television show, coz to be honest, the storyline was the last thing on my mind when I watched it. Tapi dalam aku cuba mengelak untuk ambil tauk pasal storyline cerita tok...masih juak aku dapat ingat dengan samar-samar apa sedang dilalui hero ya. Cerita nok aku maksudkan adalah....jeng jeng jeng! Nangga video tok dulok...jelmakan semula zaman gembira kanak-kanak anda! Henshin!!! Suria...Perkasa...Hitam!!!!!! Persoalan Minda: Aku heran dengan nama hero tok versi Indon ya - Kesatria Baja Hitam. Apa sebenarnya maksud 'baja' ya? Macam ne nama Kamen Rider Black, boleh ter'translate' kepada Kesatria  Baja Hitam? 'Kesatria' dan 'hitam' ya ...

Green Green River

Oni wat orud tih ponu tun duh?  Tebas! Tebas! Jangan tak tebas!!!  You must be wondering why on Earth did we try to manouvre a boat over grassland? Well, the problem is not that the boat is on land, it's actually coz the 'land' is invading the river! The lush greenery that you are seeing now is actually a river! This was I think one of the quirkiest field scenarios I've ever encountered in my career and it took place sometime in mid-2009 (dah lama dah...tapi coz nya interesting, aku post jak), it was actually suppose to be a riverine survey along the Karap River, a tributary of the Bakong & Baram River. Instead of actually surveying anything, all we did was try to get through all the vegetation. And here's the picture taken prior to the one above for to prove it! OMG!!!! What did we just get ourselves into... By the time we saw all those keladi-keladi buntings we already crying out, "Oh s**t!" and we were already regretting the trip was ...

Bidayuh Music?!!

Oni wat ya nai muzik Bidoyoh?  Traditional Bidayuh Instruments  One day, I saw a discussion on Facebook between some friends that was about Bidayuh MUSIC. I couldn't remember as to whether the discussion was about holding a competition for Bidayuh music or organizing some sort of Bidayuh music festival. Not so sure which one was it. But let me just ask this question; what exactly do you mean by Bidayuh 'music'?. For all I know, Bidayuh music that I have been exposed since I was a kid was those that involve an entire ensemble of gongs (tawak, kita'ak, pidabat and etc...). So when I read this discussion, it was odd for me to think that we would try to ask our modern songwriters to write new music from this type of ensemble. I was once told by village elders that to each kampung, their musical arrangement for this ensemble is different. So the beats played by the group from Grogo, will definitely differ from those who hail from Singgai, Pedawan or Serian. ...
